While the BJP and Shiv Sena seem to be ironing out differences, the Congress and Nationalist Congress Party have struck a discord over the Ahmednagar Lok Sabha segment where the son of senior Congress leader Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil has staked claim to a seat that has been traditionally fought by the NCP.

Opposition leader in assembly Vikhe Patil's son Sujay has become a bone of contention for the alliance that the two major parties are trying to expand by including Prakash Ambedkar's Vanchit (deprived) Aghadi (front). The NCP is not willing to part with the seat despite losing it thrice in a row while the Vikhe Patils are confident of winning it if allowed to contest.
